Okay, I am trying to get my nerve up to do this, but am nervous about just "changing things" because I am not skilled in this.
After careful reconsideration I have decided that I want to try and go the route of fixing my current config.php because I believe I am more comfortable working that side as opposed to tweaking a virgin config.php
Having said that, like I mentioned before, the User name and password that it is showing in my config.php is wrong. At least it is wrong in the sense that it is not what I use to log onto my site. OTOH, I don't know what MyBB uses (or even my host for that matter) to setup the forum on initial install. Maybe it creates a user name and password all itself that I don't know about.
To give you an example I read this on the other 7 page hacked thread where someone caught the fact that their database type was mysql"i" and the example shows a mysql. They thought this was a problem only to find out it wasn't.
So in this regards, I am nervous about just changing things willy nilly without having a clue what I am doing. Is it possible that the only mod to the config.php is all the javascript that has been added down on the bottom is it?
